Because children have weak immune systems unlike adults. So since there were no antibiotics, children would die faster then adults.

Why should't doctors over prescribe antibiotics?
Because the organisms that the antibiotics kill (to make you better) evolve resistance to the antibiotics when they are exposed to them. This means that the more the exposure (prescribing) the faster resistance develops. Antibiotics should therefore ONLY be used when really needed and taken EXACTLY as they are meant to. Stopping a dose of antibiotics before a full course of treatment is worse than over prescribing.

Are there any types of infectious disease that antibiotics do not work against?
Antibiotics only work against bacterial infections. They do not work for Viral infections.

If you have more then 12 kids do you still have to pay child support?
Of course. (Hint: modern science has discovered what causes children.)
Why shouldn't antibiotics be over used?
The more exposure bacteria have to antibiotics, the more rapidly they will evolve into antibiotic resistant strains. So if you use antibiotics only when they are truly needed, they will be more effective. If you use them unnecessarily, they will become ineffective.
